Explain why 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane. hint: examine the

transition state for each of the reactions.
Chemistry

Mama L [17]4 years ago

Answer:-

The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.

The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.

If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.

This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.

Because uranium-235 isn't found naturally in large quantities, engineers increase its concentration in nuclear fuel so that a ch

Nuclear Fusion. 

Having low atomic nuclei is the reason why uranium-235 is not commonly found in large nuclear reactions. 

So, scientist increases its concentration by fusing the lower atomic nuclei with high atomic nuclei in order to produce a heavier nucleus which will increase the release of energy.

How many moles of sodium are present in 17 g of Na?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1. 0.74mol

2. 0.42mol

3. 2.125mol

4. 0.301mol

5. 4.52 × 10^23 particles

Explanation:

Number of moles (n) in a substance can be found using the formula:

mole (n) = mass/molar mass

Using this formula, the following moles are calculated:

1. Molar of Na = 23g/mol

mole = 17/23

mole = 0.74mol

2. Molar mass of Na2SO4 = 23(2) + 32 + 16(4)

= 46 + 32 + 64

= 142g/mol

Mole = 60/142

mole = 0.42mol

3. Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + 16(2)

= 12 + 32

= 44g/mol

mole = 93.5/44

mole = 2.125mol

4. Molar mass of sodium nitrate (NaNO3) = 23 + 14 + 16(3)

= 23 + 14 + 48

= 85g/mol

mole = 25.6/85

mole = 0.301mol

5. Number of particles in one mole of a substance is 6.022 × 10^23 particles. Hence, in 0.75mol of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2, there will be;

0.75mol × 6.02 × 10^23

= 4.515 × 10^23

= 4.52 × 10^23 particles
